PAF Conducts Successful Test Launch of Taimoor ALCM

It would, H4 literally 90s, think by PAF would have IIR/EO seekers we've seen that seeker on different REKs too.

I am talking about taimoor having ATR.

No, I have watched the documentary pilot mentioned, fire launching I gave control to the pilot
iIR is just a sensor which provide day/night capability. The guidance is pilot controlled.

im guessing they probably do have some form of target recog, now obviously i dont know the ins and outs, but, based off of the lrashm, you can do some pretty cool things with a high fidelity seeker

The most interesting detail for me is the mention of sea targets, as well as land, which would explain the IIR.
affirm, it does hint at the paf wanting something more capable for anti shipping.

i wonder whether this could mean the pn would deploy these onboard sea sultans

@Oscar did point to Babur being able to fly into a window.

And now with kids running image recognition algos on their PCs seems pretty much in the reach.

I would suspect the AShCM already onboard PN vessels will have the similar IIR and processing, I see this as more of a redundancy and additional option for the PAF and maybe on the Sea Sultan for airborne attack. Given the long range of 600km, low level skimming flight path, and IIR, it would be quite a stealthy attack vector compared with say a terminal radar homing guidance AShM as it won't trigger RWR or ECM on the target vessel, and give too short a reaction time. But then again, having a boosted version on PN vessels wouldn't be a bad thing.
 
Good stuff. To be prepared is the way.
 
So Pilot still controls the target in the end using optical feedback like the H4 SOW? If the link stays connected, it will be deadly for S400 (the video shows a land target).

BTW, any basic info on how CM400 locked on the cheesboard? What if the cheeseboard was switched off like 10 sec before?
 
The purpose of IIR itself is to make a missile ATR. TERCOM/DSMAC allows the missile to fly to predetermined location. IIR allows it precisely target the data by comparing the images stored in the missile memory. Since we don't have live datalinks/satellite guidance/Man in the loop. So target reassignment/ Hitting target of opportunity in real time will obviously be missing from the feature set.

As far as I know, nope. If someone is guiding a missile, then it has to be a tv seeker. IIR makes the missile autonomous.

An IIR can transmit what it is seeing, given that it is just another senor type.

It would be possible to convert that into a black/white image for transmission ( that may be when it becomes a "TV" seeker ).

The bigger technical issue is how will you transmit that to the host platform or back to base given that the range may be 600km or more for air launched platform that heads back to base after launch. Pakistan lacks the satellites that could be used to transmit that data.

harbah has an iir option for what its worth, not sure what the pn's qualms were with it and why they chose not to pursue it further.

OTOH, its pretty clear that rasoob is a PN sponsored project and one they intend to deploy on ships too...

Sea King, Shahpar 3(naval) and ATR? who else operates these...

semi armour peircing? sounds like a shaped charge for ships

booster...surface launched(weak argument, could be because of the sea king too tbf)

So, im not sure whether this has any value for the PN, rasoob, rightly so, is where their bets seem to be
